Working with Gloria...

 

Occasionally I pop into one of our local thrift stores to see what I can find.

While I know Gloria Vanderbilt is not necessarily a high end designer, most of her blouses still run somewhere between $25 to $40.

I paid $2.95 for a perfectly good Gloria Vanderbilt blouse at my local thrift store.

 

 

In fact, I bought three "slightly used" blouses for $9.76 total.

 

Take a look at my white button up before.

 

 

Nice blouse, but I feel like Gloria could have done better, so I got to work...

 

Adding a lace ruffle...

 

 

Don't you love that cuff?

 

I also thought the collar could use a bit of dressing up...

 

 

 I bought this blouse for the cuffs and these sparkly buttons.

Aren't they pretty?

 

 

So.... whatcha think?

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday!
